Re: Stabul 1 vs. Triple crown Low Starch/ and Balancer
Trisha DePietro
Hi Tina. Here is the list of safe balancers. https://ecir.groups.io/g/main/files/5%20Core%20Diet/Acceptable%20Ration%20Balancers.pdf
When I looked at the Triple Crown low starch--- It had 6% fat as a MINIMUM....so it could be higher from bag to bag it will never be less than 6% and that is too high for IR horses. The Balancer had added iron--- a Minimum of 500 ppm...so at any time it could be much higher and we don't advise any additional iron added to feed. Horses don't need additional iron...so those are some reasons why those two products do not make my safe feeds list...I am sure there are other reasons...but those are the two that jump out at me and would make me say "no" if it were my horse.-- Hope this helps.
